the brink of orgasm. “Listen up soldier. I need you to fuck me good and hard. Got that? Don’t you hold a thing back.”
Another slow stroke. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You can’t hurt me,” she told him. “Right here, right now, I’m yours.”
Her words broke through his restraint. He began to piston inside her, one hand supporting most of his weight, the other holding her hip in place so he could power into her without shoving her backwards on the bed.
His cock hit every pressure point every time and within moments she threw her head back as her orgasm rolled over her.
She came back to herself to hear Smitty muttering, “Slow and easy. Not yet, Not yet.”
“Not yet, what?”
“Want to make you come again.” With that, he began to power into her again, stronger and faster than before.
The pressure built quickly and only moments later she came so hard she screamed out.
Smitty jerked against her and groaned as he hung his head and shook. He sunk down onto her, his arms coming around her to hold her close.
She clutched at him and buried her face in his shoulder.
“Wow,” he whispered in her ear.
“Wow, wow,” she said, then giggled.
He laughed too. “Is it all right if I sleep here with you?”
“Yes, please.”
He flashed a grin and pulled away and out. “I’ll be right back then.” He rolled the condom off his cock and left the room for the bathroom next door.
“When did you put the condom on?”
“While you were staring at my handsome face.”
She thought about it for a moment. “Nope. I stared at your monster cock the whole time you were take those incredibly sexy plaid boxers off. Couldn’t take my eyes off him.”
He strode back into the bedroom with a cloth in his hand. He knelt on the mattress and cleaned her then he tossed the cloth on the floor and crawled up the bed to lie next to her.
“I’ve got special ninja skills.”
“Ha, I plan on keeping a sharp eye on you next time.”
“See, that’s the question I want to ask.”
“What question?”
“When can we do this again?”
She sent him a saucy smile. “That depends on how fast you reload, soldier.”
He stroked a hand down her face and gazed at her as if she were the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen. “It won’t be long.”
She’d seen that expression before, but never on Smitty’s face and never directed at her. She’d seen it on the faces of the men she’d returned home with as they met their wives and girlfriends. It was the expression a man wore when he felt something powerful for woman.
She was so not the right woman for Smitty.
She wasn’t the right woman for anyone, and probably would never be.
Chapter Six
S mitty woke her only once during the night to make love with a furious passion that surprised her with its speed and ferocity. They made love again in the shower, both needy after teasing each other with soap and shampoo.
She let him drive her to work without chucking any dynamite into Lost Lake for the first time in weeks. She saw patients until about 11:30 when she planned an early lunch with the Sheriff at the diner down the street from the clinic.
He arrived as she was hanging up her lab coat and tipped his hat to her. “Morning Abby.”
“Morning.”
“You feeling okay?”
“Yep, no lasting effects from yesterday’s shooting.”
“Good. Shall we?” he asked, his gaze lingering on her receptionist and the one or two patients who hadn’t left yet. “Where’s Smitty?”
“He had to make a call and fax something, so he went down to the drug store to use their machine. He’ll catch up to us when he’s finished.”
The Sheriff nodded and she followed him out and down the street. He didn’t say anything else until after they’d sat down and been served their coffees, but even then she had to pry it out of him.
“So,” she began. “Tell me about the bullet that damn near took my head off my shoulders.”
